America is richer in an inestimable wsy
through the acquisition of the picture.
Countries, communities nations or
peoples advance and progress through var
rious roads. These may be easily described
as those of commerce, by SUCCESS la war, by
the arts and sciences and In literature.
ln nome of these directions America has
graduated with high degree. We are as
yet however backward in art.
The presence of this glorious master.
piece among us as the property of the citi-
zeus of this country, just ss abroad, at the
Louvre, tbs numerous art treasures are at
the option of students, will incite our art.
lists to greater work.
Its presence here is another argument in
favor of the poorer art students staying
home to study instead of spending half
dozen years in p,nury and disappointment
in Rome, Paris, London, Dusseldorf,
Munich, Berlin, or other continental cities,
as is too much the custom OF young Ameri-

School Questions,

The bill introduced INTO the Legislature
which asks that all publ ic schools of III,
State be placed under State jurisdiction, is
tit aud proper enactment.
Doubtless it will astonisb some citizens to
hear that such legislation is asked for
or needed.
Yet it Is the case. Dover schools and
those of New Castle are independent of
State Jurisdiction.
The State superintendent of public in
struction is not allowed to shoy his nose,
(lhst is his official nose) within the doors OF
those feminaries. The city schools of Will
mington, too, although the bill referred to
makes an exception In their case, receive
some $1,000 annually from the State Treas
ury. Yet for all this money no responsi.
bllty or authority is conceded to the state
Educational Department In Wilmington
schools.
The broad principle should stand that
wherever a school receives any subvention
from the State, the State has some rights In
the way of government or Responsibility in
the premises.
In some Of the cases cited no returns even
of monies granted can be got from the
school clerks.

The Historical Society.

The Delaware Historical Society Is not Al
association of dilettanti. Citizens who wer
present at the society's meeting last weel
were strongly impressed by this fact.
The occasion was the reading of pspe
by the Rev. C.P. Mallery npon"A Antiquities. ;
Tho meeting was a most representative one
including the clergy, judiciary, the bar, mem.
beIs of the med cal profession, congressman
and sx-soldiers.
Many Of those present were closely inter-
ostcd through family ties with the names
brought IN incidentally through the course
OF the lecture. To say that it was intensely
interesting only describes what was the fact.
Mr.. Mallery' paper will undoubtedly form
one of the most interesting of the archieyes
or the Society.
1t is monographs OF this nature which
form the legitimate foodlD6r discussion of
society OF the kind before which the lecture
was delivered. They form the historical
links bind ng the past to the pres, mt, aud
which if not picked up aSshe moment and
forge d by the historian. fhe nation or CON-
ruunity thus uegleotrul FAM into wel-merit-
ed oblivion.
These are the well-recognized duties of
the historian. And, when taken up, as il
this Instance, with a true students ardor,
con amors. the RESULTS are doubly admirable
and gratifying.
Mr.. Mallery has in this case rescued from
what seemed impending oblivion the last
vision of a most entrancing historical picture
whose image was fast vanishing in the haze
of the distant past. This community owes
debt to the lecturer which will be only the
more strongly felt as ears go by and as sub
sequent generations come to take the place
of those who now see events passing and his.
tory being made.
We understand that the paper read by Mr.
Mallery is but fragment-a,u epitomeofthe
vOlu ne of matter that he has collected upon
the subj ct of Bohemia Manor. He has We
believe collected over three buudred pages vi
manuscript notes upon the history of the To-
cality. This would afford remarkably CON-
prehensive Information and If we may judge
from tho sample also, highly valuable, to al.
most every one of the older families of tn.
Peninsula,-this too, independent of their
general historical value.
